I install the operation system of redhat 6.2, and the kernel is 2.6.32-220.el6. I want to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6. How can I upgrade?

Hi merlin,

             You can upgrade the kernel via install the Binary Distributions of 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6. And you need download below binary distributions, then you install them.

bfa-firmware-3.0.3.1-1.el6.noarch.rpm

kernel-firmware-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.noarch.rpm

kernel-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.i686.rpm

kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.i686.rpm

kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.i686.rpm

glibc-headers-2.12-1.47.el6.i686.rpm

glibc-devel-2.12-1.47.el6.i686.rpm

gcc-4.4.6-3.el6.i686.rpm

I would just upgrade with "yum".

This will solve all dependencies automatically.
